WHEN the great 16th Century prophet Nostradamus stared into the future, he described the fate of the final pope with eerie detail. And the first sign will soon be in our skies.
The 266th pope now sits on the Throne of St Peter. According to the pen of several prophets, he will be the last.
Quatrain II.46
"The great star for seven days shall burn
So nakedly clear like two suns appearing
The large dog all night howling
While the great Pontiff shall change his territory."
Astronomers have announced that Comet Ison, which will pass later this year, could end up being brighter than the moon - if it survives its encounter with the sun.
This has been seized upon as evidence that Nostradamus's words are about to come to pass.
Another of Nostradamus's writings has also been associated with the end of the Catholic Church:
Quatrain VI.6:
There will appear towards the North
Not far from Cancer the bearded star:
Susa, Siena, Boeotia, Eretria,
The great one of Rome will die, the night over.
.....................................................................................................................
It is the writings of Saint Malachy, an archbishop of the 1100s, which definitively states this will be the pope of the end times.
A Benedictine monk claimed to have discovered in 1595 a collection of the Saint's papers where he had purportedly secretly written down 112 brief but vague prophecies. Each is associated with the reign of an individual pope.
The last phrase applies to Pope Francis:
Verse 112:
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."

Ah, Nostradamus.
But what about that most famous one where in 1999 and seven months, the King of terror will come from the sky, and there will be wars.
Funny, nobody ever mentions that one anymore.
